Ok, pre season is over and after a long break, we can see what this team can do. Actually, we see if the 1 game in 10 days gave us a chance to re-group and sort some things out.

Injury report: Hamhuis, Ballard, Bolduc, Rypien, Burrows and Bolduc - and of course, Salo. The Devils have a handful of players out as well, including Parise.

The Devils are struggling at the start of the season, averaging about a goal a game less than us, while letting in an extra goal a game. This will also be the only game against NJ this year.

We'll be seeing the how Luongo matches up against the greatest goalie of all time (the Canucks have 6 of the 7 last meetings against NJ and are 52-31-17 all time). This will also be a chance to see what all the about Kovolchuk was.

Whoa, I thought this a place of myth...an actual pre-game thread, it was said in the old days... um yeah everyone chant 'Kovalchuk Kovalchuk' and his head will explode and John MacLean's heart will implode and we win, simple as that!

Oh, and don't let Luo know a couple of his psycho fans wants to trade him for a bag o' pucks...

There is no such thing as climate change...there is no such thing as climate change...there is such thing as climate change...

1) Henrik was pinned down to the ice w/o the puck-- no call for interference2) Luongo gets 3/5 Jersey players to finally get goalie interference called 3) Crowd was quiet, game was rather boring. 4) Canucks got outshot again in the 3rd period--- needs to stop5) Lu was excellent, but it is November.
